- The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

Today I witnessed a miracle
It’s been a miracle for four years

Nope no miracle
Miracles truly happen. It’s perfect.

I love how this video periodically gets recommended to us when the title is exactly right
it did to me as well
@@samuelboczek1834 same
happened again
It mainly has to do with the title changing
The algorithm does that whenever parts of a video change, whether it be the title or the thumbnail
It did it to me aswell
How did I not get recommended this video in four years til now?
Time to binge
lmfao

It has to be, because otherwise if a video was uploaded at the beginning of youtube the title would need to be updated about 7000 times a day

This is turning out to be way more accurate than Tom expected
I'd imagine the views presented by the CZcams API are what are also used to show end users. All of the view fudging and aggregation will happen in the background before it's presented anywhere.

"The code was never the important part"
Sounds like the pivotal part in a film where the protagonist has a deep realization.
Sounds like "I am always angry" but in matrix.
Wow stole my comment
The real code was inside us all along...

The real matrix was the friends we made along the way
A lot of people witnessing miracles, on this fine day.

It’s not right now
It seems to me that his quote refers to the actual numbers. There is a common delay on the video so counter is about right but can not be always accurate.
Today it is wrong
I have been checking this video every so often and as of right now it is still EXACT
This is one of the most inspirational videos I have ever watched on CZcams. I like the philosophy bit at the end.
This has been recommended 3 times and hasn’t wrong once.

Guess it's more likely to get it right now that the video is years old and doesn't get as many concurrent views all the time.
4 years and it’s still working😎
